“‘Sporting News,’ ‘Sports Illustrated,’ a lot of
them I don’t read. It’s bad journalism. And, so, why
buy them?”
The “bad journalism” in question was President
E. Gordon Gee’s assessment of “Sporting News”’
April 9 article titled “From champs to chomped: How
Urban Meyer broke Florida football,” which reported
on an “out-of-control” culture left behind by Ohio
State football coach Urban Meyer when he departed
the University of Florida’s program in January 2011.
The article also reported widespread drug use
among his former players.

Gee also voiced concern about “Sports Illustrated,”
which published an investigative report on OSU
football and former Buckeye coach Jim Tressel in May.
Tressel was forced to resign from his post May 30.
In discussing the “Sporting News” story, Gee
defended Meyer.
“One doesn’t hire a coach without talking with all
the right people,” he said. “One doesn’t hire a coach
without understanding exactly what his values are.”
Gee said someone in Meyer’s position is always
going to be subject to criticism, but that much of it is
not concerning to him.
everyone’s going to nip at him,” Gee said. “Not
having fully read the story, but having read portions
of it, it is what it is. I would hope that at our institution we teach a higher quality of journalism.”

“Sporting News” president and publisher Jeff
Price stood behind the “From champs to chomped”
story, which was written by Matt Hayes.
Price told The Lantern, “There were no correcHayes’ story on Meyer.
“The ‘Sporting News’ has been practicing quality
journalism for more than 125 years and during
that span, has held itself to the highest standards
each and every day,” Price said in an email to The
Lantern. “The basic tenets of our craft — sports
journalism — are executed thoroughly on a daily
basis in our newsroom, especially regarding the
importance of source and fact checking.

Students unhappy with OSU crime response
ANDREW KELLER
Lantern reporter

The new Public Safety Hate Crime email alerts,
Ohio State’s effort to inform students of hate crimes
on and near campus, might have students pushing
delete sooner than the university intended.
Some OSU students remain skeptical about the
university’s efforts to combat the recent slew of hate
crimes around campus, and even the most visible
demonstration of university effort, the email alert
system, has been met with ambivalence.
“I’m disappointed with the response, honestly,”
said N. Michael Goecke, a Ph.D. candidate in
ethnomusicology and a Master of Arts candidate in
African-American and African studies. “Much more
needs to be done.”
The string of hate crimes began April 5 when
“Long Live Zimmerman” was spray-painted on the
west wall of Hall Hale, home to Frank W. Hale Jr.
Black Cultural Center. Police said the vandalism
referred to George Zimmerman, the neighborhood
watch leader who killed 17-year-old African-American Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, telling police it was
an act of self-defense. Two acts of vandalism were
then discovered April 16, including the writing of the
word “n----r” and a swastika on a door in Baker Hall
East, and the appearance of “Hang n-----s” spraypainted on a dumpster behind Formaggio Pizza at
20 E. 13th Ave., according to OSU Police.
President E. Gordon Gee also defended the email
alerts at a meeting with The Lantern staff Monday.

We’re going to do it when there are
serious issues. But it is substantive in
terms of wanting to make sure people are
aware of what is happening and to show
that together we do care about what
people are saying.”
President E. Gordon Gee

“Now, we’re not going to do that every time,”
Gee said. “We’re going to do it when there are
serious issues. But it is substantive in terms of
wanting to make sure people are aware of what is
happening and to show that together we do care
about what people are saying.”
The university enacted the alert system in
response to sit-ins by students who demanded
accounting. She said student groups, such as
OSU Stand Your Ground, initially pushed for the
alerts to shed light on the scope of intolerance
around campus.
“If we do put enough light on what’s going on,
then we may discourage those crimes,” Watkins
said.
However, some students have criticized the new
system as being ineffective or, at worst, completely
irrelevant.
One criticism of the new system that many

students echoed was that, unlike the alert system for
other crimes, the hate crime alert system does not
warn students of any impending danger.
“It’s kind of weird that the hate crimes are on
there because they don’t pose an immediate threat
aerospace engineering. “I don’t see what purpose
it serves. They can do the same thing by putting a
bulletin up on the Ohio State website. It’s not like an
emergency situation that people need to know about
right away.”
Watkins, however, said there was value in quickly
letting campus know when and where a hate crime
occurred.
“I don’t want anything to seem small, because
any hate crime isn’t fair,” she said.
Watkins, however, criticized the alerts in another
way: she said they don’t do the job they were
intended to do.
“I feel that the emails are very vague and they
really don’t tell you what’s going on,” she said. “OK, a
hate crime happened, but they don’t actually tell you
what happened, so you don’t know what to look out
for. Was someone attacked, or was it just a note on
the wall?”
But despite the varying opinions on the email
alert system, a common theme students expressed
was that the university had not done all it could to
deal with the recent hate crimes.
“I think they can do more,” Simmerer said. “I
don’t think the emergency alert system helps in any

companies interested in managing campus parking
operations.
Faculty members from 44 different departments
ranging from political sciences and geography to
history signed a letter crafted by Enrico Bonello,
professor of plant pathology, Paul Beck, professor of
political sciences and Linda Lobao, professor of rural
sociology and geography. All three are members of
University Faculty Council.
The letter was in response to President E.
Gordon Gee’s email sent out Monday evening to
students and faculty members, describing the RFP
and its processes.
“We strongly disagree with this interpretation,
because parking services are essential for student
access to classes, faculty access to students and
staff access to work,” the letter states. “But even
if we agreed, we believe this proposal is not in the
best interest of OSU for several reasons.”
The faculty members compared the one-time
payment the private parking company would give to
OSU to a loan.

“This deal is equivalent to a loan to OSU, repaid
for the next 50 years with the foregone revenue that
OSU would have received if it retained control of
parking. Instead, that money would go to the private
operator, in addition to whatever additional amount
the operator could raise from higher prices or greater
volume,” the faculty members said in the letter.
“This loan would be repaid by a captive market of
students, their parents, staff, faculty and alumni, at
fee levels that the parking operator would be permitted to raise well above the average increases of the
recent past.”
Gee said the review process will begin when the
proposals are received.
“Once we get (the RFP) back, we’ll have discussions with the student leadership, with the staff
leadership, with the faculty leadership and we’ll
explain exactly what we have,” Gee said. “And then
we’ll make a decision.”
Under the proposed parking privatization plan,
the operator would be required to maintain, not
improve service levels, the faculty members argue in
the letter.
“Meanwhile, OSU would retain responsibility for many of the expenses now paid for with
parking revenues. It would also acquire unknown
new compliance monitoring and, possibly,
litigation costs. When this revenue source now

Discount program gives OSU students no
reason to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;moochâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; when shopping local
CAITlIn eSSIG
Asst. multimedia editor
essig.21@osu.edu

Ohio State students have the opportunity to pay
at 15 local merchants including Formaggio Pizza,
Across the Field, Kafe Kerouac and Kildareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irish
Pub using a new form of currency: their name.
Students can become members of Moocho Open
Tab for free by entering their debit or credit card
information at moocho.com. After shopping at a
Moocho merchant, members present a photo ID to
charge their purchases to their Moocho accounts
and automatically receive discounts.
CEO and founder of Moocho, Matt Levenson,
said he hopes to offer the option of linking BuckID
cards to Moocho accounts soon.
As members of Moocho, students receive exclusive discounts at participating merchants and earn
credit every time they spend a certain amount at
each merchant.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;You start out with 28 free dollars,â&#x20AC;? Levenson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On top of that, for all of the merchants
except Campus State Liquor Store, you earn $1 of
free credit for every $10 you spend. For that one
(Campus State Liquor Store) you earn 50 cents for
every $20 you spend.â&#x20AC;?
Levenson said the benefit of this program is that
the available merchants run specials for Moocho
members that allow members to save, on top of the
free credit they earn as they spend money at the
merchants.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can get 10 percent off at Hookah Rush, or
$1 cherry bombs at the Loft. There are new specials
every day,â&#x20AC;? Levenson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moocho allows you to
make yourself a VIP.â&#x20AC;?
Levenson said details regarding the specials
are available on Moochoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, and members
also receive email alerts for new deals, receipts and
credit balances.
One merchant offering access to Moocho is
Formaggio Pizza, located at 20 E. 13th Ave.
Formaggio owner, Fadi Michael, said it is hard to
tell how or if the program will benefit his business at
this time.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Moocho) is still very new,â&#x20AC;? Michael said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We
donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to expect, but we hope it will work
well for us. It should work out.â&#x20AC;?

Courtesy of Moocho

Michael said since the program is new, he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
had any students use it yet, but he said he thinks it
is a convenient way for students to save money.
Formaggio offers $1 pizza slices to Moocho
customers from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and the Loft at
Formaggio offers $1 cherry bombs during the same
time span, according to Moochoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.
Levenson said there are about 3,000 OSU
students signed up for Moocho, a number he hopes
will grow.
Another number Levenson said he expects will
increase is the number of businesses who accept
Moocho.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We absolutely expect to expand,â&#x20AC;? Levenson
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the next few weeks, I hope the number
expands by 10 or 15 merchants.â&#x20AC;?
Some students, such as Adam Chatlain, a
second-year in business, said he would also like to
see the program expand.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d use it,â&#x20AC;?
Chatlain said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be more interested in it if there
were more options, maybe some more big names or
popular places.â&#x20AC;?
OSU is one of only seven college campuses
nationwide where Moocho offers its program.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We chose OSU because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best,â&#x20AC;? Levenson
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) vibrant college community who really
backs the local community.â&#x20AC;?

I saw President Gee walk in the meeting with some
of my graduate students, I knew something was up,
but I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting an award. It was absolutely

about things, but I guess Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not as good as I
thought.â&#x20AC;?
Hopper has made breakthroughs within her
career, and her discoveries with the tracking of
tRNAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a living cell or virus molecule that transports amino acids to ribosomes undergoing protein
synthesis, in yeast will require that textbooks be
rewritten. She loves her graduate students at OSU
because they have a passion to learn and are easy
to motivate. There is never a time when she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
being a scientist, she said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love plants and I have three dogs and I have a
pond with koi fish. Science invades my life, but I love
it. I live and breathe it,â&#x20AC;? Hopper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than
a job, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lifestyle.â&#x20AC;?
Geeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit also surprised Louis DiMauro, professor of physics, said the commitment to education is
what attracted him to OSU. The New York native has
established a research group that focuses on the
interaction between atoms and intense laser pulses
on an atomic timescale. Researching and teaching is
something he takes pride in.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people of Ohio really value education,â&#x20AC;?
DiMauro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put a number of my graduate
students at Stanford and Harvard. You are training

As if being one of the six faculty members to
win the 2012 Distinguished Scholar Award wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
shocking enough, President E. Gordon Gee made a
surprise visit to the winners.
The award recognizes senior professors who
have completed substantial research. Established
in 1978, Office of Research supports the award.
Departments nominate the recipients, and a committee of senior faculty, including past recipients,
choose the winners. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Distinguished Scholars will be able to use the $3,000 honorarium and
$20,000 research grant throughout the next three
years toward their research in American politics, the
inequalities in the American society, atomic physics
and molecular genetics.
Only six professors are recognized by this award
annually, and Gee said he is proud of his colleagues.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything we do and accomplish at Ohio State
depends on the talented people who work here,â&#x20AC;?
Gee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These distinguished scholars are the
cream of the crop, nominated by their peers and
exploring some of the most vexing and pressing
challenges of the day. Exceptional in their fields, they
bring distinction to themselves and to Ohio State.â&#x20AC;?
During a faculty meeting that seemed to be
ordinary, each professor was interrupted with a
surprise visit Gee who was accompanied by family
members, students and other university administrators of the awardees.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I view myself as very nosy,â&#x20AC;? said Anita Hopper,
professor of molecular genetics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to know
whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not easily surprised. When

Advisers across Ohio State were recognized
during Adviser Appreciation Week with thank-you
notes from students.
To recognize OSU advisers, the Office of Undergraduate Education and the Academic Advising
Association sponsored Adviser Appreciation Week
April 16-20.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it for the money, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say
that,â&#x20AC;? said Jane Palmer, an academic counselor in
the Fisher College of Business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we really enjoy
helping students across all walks of life achieve
what it is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to achieve.â&#x20AC;?
It is that kind of sentiment that Adviser Appreciation Week recognized.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Advisers have been working overtime and on
weekends to support students through the semester conversion, so in thinking about all of the different creative ways to recognize them, this week was
developed,â&#x20AC;? said Amy Soter, an academic adviser
in the School of Communication, and Jen Belisle,
an advising resource coordinator in the Office of
Undergraduate Education, in an email.
One way for students to recognize an adviser
was through the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank an Adviserâ&#x20AC;? initiative.
Students could send electronic thank-you notes
through the Office of Undergraduate Educationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
website or write a handwritten thank-you note at
one of the tables set up throughout campus during
Adviser Appreciation Week.
Soter and Belisle said in the email they received
about 150 electronic thank-you notes and more
than 100 handwritten notes. Students will be able
to send electronic thank-yous throughout the
academic year, and handwritten notes will be sent
to advisers during each annual Adviser Appreciation Week, Soter and Belisle said.
Palmer was able to deliver some of those
thank-you notes, not just receive them, because
she is on the executive board of Academic Advising Association.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on both sides, been able to receive
some of these great benefits and also help provide
them to other advisers across campus,â&#x20AC;? Palmer
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesterday when I was at the table and
students were coming to fill out the thank-you
cards, just the number of students, it was just as
rewarding for me to be standing there hearing
students say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow this is a great thing to be able
to thank my adviser,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and then again to actually
participate in delivering the thank-yous.â&#x20AC;?
Elizabeth Riter, an engineering scholars
program manager, displayed one of her handwritten thank-you notes on her desk.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a student who was really appreciative of
me helping them plan their major, and so I received
a nice thank-you note from her, which was really

nice just to see what sort of impact weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made on
students,â&#x20AC;? Riter said.
Adviser Appreciation Week also provided advisers with free coffee coupons, 10-minute massages,
a tote bag that included a letter thanking advisers
and a party at the end of the week.
Riter, however, said she was too busy to take
advantage of the weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events.
Kristen Rupert, an academic adviser in the
College of Education and Human Ecology, said she
took advantage of the massage. Her supervisor
brought coffee and bagels to the office throughout
the week as well. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the massages and
coffee that were the most important to Rupert.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got a really nice card from a student, which
was awesome, because I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of the
most important thing to me,â&#x20AC;? Rupert said.
Palmer, who also took advantage of the events,
agreed.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that the thing that stands out most to
me is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thank an Adviserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opportunities,â&#x20AC;? Palmer
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just to see how when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve delivered the
thank-yous to the different advising staff, you can
see that it helps us remember why we do what we
do.â&#x20AC;?
But while the thank-you notes were the
highlight of the week to many advisers, only about
250 notes were sent.
Lars Benthien, a third-year in history, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
participate in Adviser Appreciation Week but said
he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;dimly aware of it.â&#x20AC;?
Benthien, however, supported the purpose of
Adviser Appreciation Week.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Advisers are somewhat underappreciated, so
Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all for it,â&#x20AC;? Benthien said.

The Lantern is an interdisciplinary laboratory student publication which is part of
the School of Communication at The Ohio State University, with four printed daily
editions Monday through Thursday and one online edition on Friday. The Lantern is
staffed by student editors, writers, photographers, graphic designers and multimedia producers. The Lantern’s daily operations are funded through advertising and
its academic pursuits are supported by the School of Communication. Advertising in
the paper is sold largely by student account executives. Students also service the
classified department and handle front office duties. The School of Communication
is committed to the highest professional standards for the newspaper in order to
guarantee the fullest educational benefits from The Lantern experience.

published. In addition, with a highly regarded school
of communication under his purview, perhaps
President Gee should sit in on a journalism class
with members of The Lantern to better understand
the definition of ‘bad journalism’ before he flippantly
used the term again,” the email said.
Of Hayes’ report, Meyer said he has and will
continue to maintain transparency in his job as
coach at OSU.
“We’re transparent. If you read that article, I
mean, once again, I’m not sure what’s in there.
It’s a three-month investigation of us,” Meyer said
during an April 11 interview with The Lantern.
“Articles like that — in case you haven’t noticed,
I’ve been getting battle-tested for the last 10 years.
It happens. Everybody’s got jobs to do. Mine is to
coach this team and work with the student body.”
Gee went on to scrutinize the “Sports Illustrated” investigative report of OSU, which was
published as the cover story in the June 6 edition of
the magazine. That report “revealed an eight-year
pattern of violations under” Tressel.
“(‘Sports Illustrated’) came out with this big story
about Ohio State, all of which was ultimately proven
to be false,” Gee said. “I mean, the guy must have
been looking at another school.”
Despite Gee saying the story, written by Sports
Illustrated senior writers, George Dohrmann with
David Epstein, included falsities, OSU spokesman
Jim Lynch could not confirm that the university ever
made a formal request for a correction or a retraction for either the “Sports Illustrated” or “Sporting
News” reports.

“It’s difficult to address stories that rely almost
exclusively on anonymous sources,” Lynch said in a
Tuesday email to The Lantern.
“Sports Illustrated” did not immediately respond
to a request for comment, but Dohrmann confirmed
to The Lantern that no corrections, clarifications or
retractions were issued for his story.
Dohrmann, who said that he and “Sports Illustrated” both stand behind his reporting, added that
he thinks Gee needs to go back and re-read the
story.
“(Gee) knows more about bow ties than he does
about journalism,” Dohrmann said.
OSU students weighed in on Gee’s assessment
of the “Sporting News” and “Sports Illustrated’s”
articles and seemed to stand by the publications
and their work.
In discussing “Sports Illustrated,” Kejuan
Johnson, a first-year in business, said he didn’t think
it likely that the publication was capable of producing bad work.
“‘Sports Illustrated’ is ‘Sports Illustrated,’”
Johnson said. “I couldn’t see it being bad journalism.”
Amy Esswein, a second-year in biology,
cautioned that everything Gee said needs to be
taken with a grain of salt.
“‘Sports Illustrated’ is not The New York Times,
but it is not a tabloid,” Esswein said. “Gee shouldn’t
be saying things like that, not that he doesn’t have a
right to an opinion, but should be more sensitive to
the issue.”

together as a community to be aware of these situations and provide assistance to law enforcement in
identifying and bringing the perpetrators to justice.”
Despite frustration with the crimes, students
acknowledged the difficulty that comes in dealing
concretely with the specter of racism, and gave
credit to the university that this is not something that
will be solved overnight.
“I do feel the university is trying to do its best,”
Watkins said. “I have never seen such hatred
towards anyone as far as crimes going on around
campus in all my five years. The frequency of things
going on is shocking to me.”
Whether or not the issue of hate crimes
will be resolved soon, however, was met with
disagreement.

“I think OSU is pretty culturally diverse, and
I’ve never personally witnessed any hate crime,”
Simmerer said. “Hopefully it will get better, but I
don’t think it’s a huge problem right now.”
Watkins, on the other hand, said she does not
think things will be so easy.
“I hope to say that change will happen,” she said,
“but I see that every 10 or 20 years, we are fighting for
the same things: for equality, for respect. I see maybe
20 years from now the same thing happening again.”

Faculty from 1A
obtained by OSU for parking disappears, how would the administration cover these costs? They would need to divert money from
elsewhere, or raise other fees from students, staff and faculty,” the
letter states.
Furthermore, the professors said the parking privatization plan would
not reap any benefits the administration is claiming that it will reinvest to
its academic core.
“However, a financial analysis shows that unless the private operator were willing to lend OSU far more than $400 million, there would
be much less money available than the administration has claimed to
invest in the academic core — if any,” the letter states.
The letter also used examples from Chicago and Indianapolis to
point out flaws in parking privatization.
“As has been the case in prior experiments of this sort (e.g., in
Chicago and Indianapolis), the preeminent concern of the private
operator is profit for itself and a group of financial investors, and not

necessarily good services priced in a fair manner,” the faculty members
said in the letter.
It goes on to discuss the $200 million lawsuit that Chicago was
threatened with this month because the city allowed a private company
to construct a new garage that was arguably in violation of its original
contract.
Gee said that the university is still weighing its options, and even
as a self-proclaimed proponent of the parking deal, he has not made a
decision yet.
“Speculating on what’s going to happen, all I can say is if they
don’t meet that $375 million criteria, with the other things we’ve put
in, then we simply won’t do it,” Gee said. “No one knows what is
going to happen with this. I haven’t made up my mind myself … Those
who oppose it have already made up their mind based on incomplete
facts.”

Long shines under Friday night lights
DARIUS THIGPEN
Lantern reporter
thigpen.9@osu.edu
In college baseball, a team’s best
pitcher usually starts the Friday night
game of a weekend series to begin
the series with a win. For Ohio State
baseball (22-18, 7-8 Big Ten), that ace
is sophomore transfer, Jaron Long.
Long, in his first year with the
Buckeyes, started the first game
of each weekend series in Big Ten
play this season. Long said he likes
being the Friday-night starter for the
Buckeyes and starting the series off
on a good note.
“It’s definitely a nice honor,” Long
said. “Any time you can win on Friday
it makes it a lot easier and kind of
puts (the other team) on their back
heels and press a little more. Any time
you can win on Friday it’s great to set
the tone.”
OSU baseball coach Greg Beals
said Long is “our guy” after Long
pitched a complete game in a 10-2
win against Nebraska April 13.
“He’s proven that he’s our guy,”
Beals said of Long, who is from
Scottsdale, Ariz. “He’s earned the
respect and confidence of our team.”
One of Long’s teammates, junior
catcher Greg Solomon, said Long has
had a good season.
“He’s been doing great for a long
time now,” Solomon said. “I love
catching him. He’s a competitor, and

for him to know and have confidence
in all his pitches is a great way for him
to get people out. He’s a good player.”
Long began the season as a relief
pitcher for the Buckeyes.
Beals said after a good appearance, he knew Long had turned the
corner as a pitcher.
“We knew that he had the ability
and that he has a knack for knowing
how to pitch,” Beals said. “It took
us a couple weekends to see him
out there doing it and putting it into
play. Once we saw him at Georgia
Tech, when we saw him in four or five

OSU senior pitcher Mikayla Endicott pitches the ball during a March 24
game against Indiana in Columbus, Ohio. OSU won, 4-3.

What a difference a year makes. At this
time last year, almost 2,500 miles away in
Eugene, Ore., Ohio State senior pitcher
Mikayla Endicott and her teammates on
the Oregon softball team were preparing
for their second straight trip to the NCAA
Super Regionals.
Endicott, a native of Roseburg, Ore.,
was in her third year with the Ducks.
After appearing in 41 games as a freshman and sophomore, she made only 16
appearances last season and had become
impatient with the lack of opportunities the
new coaching staff afforded to her.
“Things weren’t really going in my
favor,” Endicott said. “I really wanted the
opportunity to play. They brought a new
coaching staff in and they kinda were set
in their ways, didn’t really give me any
opportunities. I felt like it would be better
to explore my options.”
OSU coach Linda Kalafatis said her
coaching staff was on the road recruiting

last June when they heard about Endicott’s
situation. The Buckeyes had an open place
on their roster going into the 2012 season
and were looking for an upperclassman
who wasn’t getting the amount of playing
time she wanted. Kalafatis said they found
that in Endicott.
“Mikayla wasn’t getting the time
that she had been getting, that she had
gotten her freshman year,” Kalafatis said.
“There was a coaching change there and
a different philosophy. We talked to her
and it seemed like what we needed, she
needed.”
Endicott visited OSU last summer after
talking to Kalafatis about the opportunity
to become a Buckeye. She said multiple
things made her feel like it was the right
place for her.
“I came out here and I liked all the girls
that I met,” Endicott said. “I liked campus
and I thought that it would be a good fit for
me and something good to try. It’s been
great so far.”

OSU renaissance man William H. H. ‘Tippy’ Dye remembered
AARON GREEN
Lantern reporter
green.1078@osu.edu
William H. H. “Tippy” Dye, a former three-sport
athlete, coach and an influential administrator at
Ohio State, died earlier this month at the age of 97 in
Camptonville, Calif.
“He was a very, very special person,” said Penny
Carnegie, Dye’s daughter. “He was very humble and
a warm, loving, caring person.”
The 1937 OSU graduate, who was born in Harrisonville, Ohio, in 1915, and died April 11, is perhaps
best remembered around Columbus for being the
first Buckeyes quarterback to beat Michigan three
times (1934, 1935, 1936). That feat was not matched
until former OSU quarterback, Troy Smith, equaled it
with wins against the Wolverines from 2004-2006.
However, Dye’s three victories against the
Wolverines are a mere bullet point in a long list of
life achievements. The former Buckeye was an
eight-time letterman across football (1934-1936),
basketball (1935-1937) and baseball (1935-1936); an
assistant coach on the 1942 OSU National Championship football team under Paul Brown; coach of
the OSU basketball team from 1947-1950; coach of
the University of Washington basketball team from
1951-1959; and athletic director of the University of
Nebraska from 1962-1967.
He also served three years in the Navy during
World War II and held the position of athletic director at Wichita State University and Northwestern
University.
Although highly successful and well decorated,
Dye wasn’t one to boast.
“He never talked about any of his stuff unless you
weaseled it out of him,” said Tippy Dye Jr., William
Dye’s son. “He was so modest and humble. I don’t
know that he thought he was great at anything. He
knew how good he was, but it was like he was no
better than a guy living in a box under a bridge.”

In his most recent start against
Illinois Friday night, Long pitched six
innings in a 9-1 loss and allowed five
runs on nine hits. He also struck out
five batters with two walks. On the
season, Long is 3-2 with a 2.08 ERA,
has two complete games and 49
strikeouts to eight walks.
Beals said Long had big starts for
the Buckeyes throughout the season
and sees improvement in his game.

Wednesday

Touche amore 6 p.m. @ Skully’s
Music-Diner

After about 18 years together, the pop-punk
band from Wichita Falls, Texas, Bowling For Soup, is
still standing and is bringing its energy to Columbus.
With a gold-certified record, Grammy nomination
and numerous world tours later, lead singer Jaret
Reddick said the band has done way more than it
ever set out to do.
“It’s definitely one of those things, from every
situation to the next you can’t believe where you
are,” he said. “We’re just very, very blessed. Everything is pretty much crazy at this point.”
Fresh from their acoustic UK tour, Bowling For
Soup is scheduled to perform at 7 p.m. Sunday
at A&R Music Bar in support of their 11th album,
“Fishin’ For Woos.”
The album comes from what a frontman does to
his audience, Reddick said.
“If I’m standing up in front of an audience and I’m
like, ‘Are you guys ready to rock?’ and the audience
goes, ‘Woo!’ that’s me for fishin’ for woos,” he said,
“and I just reeled some in.”
Reddick said the relationship-inspired love song,
“Smiley Face (It’s All Good),” is probably his favorite
song on the album.
“That song just makes you feel good when you
hear it,” he said. “It’s a song about how nothing is
ever perfect, but you kind of got to look on the bright
side of things sometimes, and when you’re able to
do that, you deserve a little smiley face, a little gold
star.”
Although the band is primarily considered a
pop-rock band, Reddick said it draws its influences
from many forms of music.
“We grew up in a small town in Texas, so
obviously country is in there,” he said. “And we’re
all children of the ‘80s, so we all grew up on the
‘80s metal and then discovered punk rock and
blended all of that with a little bit of humor and lightheartedness.”

Bowling for Soup is scheduled to perform at 7 p.m. April 29 at A&R Music Bar.
Reddick said one aspect of the band he is proud
of is staying genuine.
“We really are the same people on stage as we
are off — just normal dudes who stumbled upon
something that works for us, something that we
believe in, something that we enjoy doing,” Reddick
said. “I think a lot of bands end up putting on some
sort of other face that really isn’t themselves and
sometimes that can drive people crazy.”
Logan White, 18, and a student at Central Ohio
Technical College in Newark, Ohio, said in an email
Bowling for Soup is one of his favorite bands and
he’ll be attending Sunday’s concert.
“What I like most about the band is the way they
handle themselves and how they are. They’re all
great people who have always created music they
genuinely care about and never made the music for
anyone else,” White said.

Breeze Harper, 22, of Salesville, Ohio, and
student at Ohio University Eastern Campus in St.
Clairsville, Ohio, said in an email she has been a fan
of Bowling For Soup for eight years and is also a fan
of opening band Patent Pending.
“I love BFS because they blend amazing musical
talent with smartly funny lyrics to create hilarious
songs that are catchy and you can sing along with,”
Harper said.
Just like the band member’s personalities and
humorous songs, the group’s live performances are
just as amusing, Reddick said. The band rarely takes
themselves seriously, he said.
“We just like to bring smiles,” Reddick said.
“We hope we help that bad day turn into a better
evening. That’s what we do. If you don’t like smiling,
you should not come see us.”

Chris Brown started a new business April 22 called
CB Breeds, which breeds dogs.

ARTS Columnist

Thursday

In the world of public relations
schemes, this one might just take
the cake.
The roller coaster that is
Chris Brown’s life took yet
another turn Sunday when the
singer’s mother, Joyce Hawkins,
took to her Twitter account, @
mombreezy, to announce her
son’s new business venture: dog
breeding.
That’s right, dog breeding.
In the tweet, Hawkins
provided a link to the official “CB
Breeds” website, where viewers
are welcomed with an image of
Brown posing and pouting alongside one of his furry friends.
The whole thing at first seems
like a joke, but unless Hawkins
is playing some kind of bizarre
prank on her son, the website
appears to be legit. So far, no
rebuttal has been made from
Brown or Hawkins disregarding
the business.
Eight adoptable puppies are
listed for sale on cbbreeds.webs.
com, each with a photo and a
name on display for potential
buyers. The names are on their
own somewhat entertaining, with
four females (Princess, Precious,
Pretty and Beauty) and four
males (Fortune, Music, Jett and
Freedom) representing the pack.
Can’t wait to get your hands
on one of these adorable pups?
It won’t come cheap, as each is
marked with a $1,000 price tag.
Brown enters the puppy
breeding business after his public

ASHLEY ALBERTSON
albertson.29@osu.edu
image was tarnished in 2009
following an argument with his
then-girlfriend, Rihanna. The
situation, taking place the night
before the Grammys, turned
violent and resulted in Rihanna’s
hospitalization. Brown was later
charged with felony assault and
making criminal threats, and was
sentenced to probation and labororiented community service.
Since the incident, Brown
has taken on the daunting task
of rebuilding his public image.
From pleas to radio stations to
once again feature his music,
to showing a united front with
Rihanna on the joint remixes
of “Turn Up The Music” and
“Birthday Cake,” Brown has
done everything possible to
maintain his relevance. No
attempt, however, has been quite
as blatant as Brown’s effort to
associate with puppies.

Although it makes sense for
Brown to want to attach himself
to something that radiates
innocence and cuteness, didn’t
he already try that tactic when
he was spotted hanging out
with Justin Bieber? Brown even
featured Bieber on his last album,
“F.A.M.E.”
What Brown might not have
expected was the backlash
breeding puppies could potentially bring.
Animal rights activists often
argue against the breeding of
dogs. Groups, such as People for
the Ethical Treatment of Animals
(PETA), claim breeders contribute
and profit off animals when a
population epidemic is plaguing
animal shelters around the country.
Looks like Brown’s list of
haters might have just gotten a
little longer.
There’s no denying Brown is
talented, but it is moves like this
that make you wonder what, or
if, the guy is really thinking. Or
maybe a better question might
be who is telling this guy what
to do? If it is Hawkins, Brown
might want to rethink the popular
saying, “Momma knows best.”
Only time will tell if Team
Breezy will shell out the small
fortune needed to support its
man. As of now, all we can do is
hope CB Breeds is some dumb
gag. If for some reason it were
legit, Brown probably would have
been smarter just to stick with
Bieber.

In all the years I’ve been obsessively following Kanye West’s career,
I’ve noticed a pattern with him. He’s
a theme-aholic. Each of his past
studio albums have a central theme, a
cohesive thought, which makes them
fundamentally great rap albums in
their own right.
“The College Dropout” represented
survival, “Late Registration” had an
underlying theme of humility, “Graduation” oozed arrogance, “808s & Heartbreak” was about repentance, “My
Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” had an
air of renewal, and “Watch The Throne”
was created from sheer opulence.
So what does West’s next studio
album have in store for his fans?
With the G.O.O.D. Music collaboration album coming out, I’m expecting to hear a lot more superiority,
braggadocio and experimentation
because of all the different featured

Vanessa Spates

artists. With the releases of “Mercy”
and “Way Too Cold” (formerly known
as “Theraflu”), the path West is
leading us down seems to be less
artistic and more of the trap music
nature.

Some fans seem to have a
problem with this direction, however.
Trap music is a style of Southern
rap (mostly having to do with selling
drugs on the street) that is popular
among artists such as T.I., Gorilla Zoe,
Young Jeezy and others. It’s a style
West rarely dips into, opting for more
experimental beats.
This style of music might seem too
simple for a complicated producer
like West. However there’s a purpose
to this divergence from “Watch The
Throne” and “My Beautiful Dark
Twisted Fantasy” — he’s trying to
connect with a type of music he rarely
uses and to connect with a different
audience. Will that alienate his more
highbrow, hipster or pale listeners?
Possibly.
However, West lost fans and
gained new ones when “808s” came
out. This will be no different. He’s

an artist that needs to keep moving
forward in order to survive in the
current musical climate. He’s always
changing sounds from album to
album, much like his fashion. He’s
always evolving and trying out different genres of music and blending
them with his own brand. He’s likely
doing it to make it easier for newer
artists in the genre to break out, such
as trap artist Future, who hails from
Georgia.
Also, just because he might be
going with this trap music vibe for
the G.O.O.D. Music album, it doesn’t
necessarily mean that will be the
sound he goes for with his next solo
studio album. The worst thing you
could do as a fan of West is to ever
expect him to do anything by the
book. He does whatever he wants
and that should never change.

While we wait for more questions from our loyal readers, here’s a
question to get you started.
Ohio State has such a big campus. I almost feel like I am
drowning because it’s so overwhelming! How do I meet people on
campus?
-Overwhelmed
Dear Overwhelmed,
Don’t fret! It’s a lot to take in. I know that I felt overwhelmed when
I started here too. The good news is, since OSU has such a large and
diverse campus, there is something for everyone here (and if there’s
not a club, group or activity that you are into, you can start one). I
would suggest starting off by exploring and joining one or two of the
many clubs and activities we have on campus. I know that I have
met so many great people just by being involved. Even before I came
to OSU, I signed up for the Ohio State Welcome Leader Program and
I met some great people that showed me around campus and helped
me adjust that are now my best friends. Maybe being on the move-in
crew isn’t your thing. Maybe you are into longboarding or speaking
German, and we have clubs for that too. I encourage you to go out
of your comfort zone and simply do what you like to do, or go learn
something new. That’s the best way I have found to meet people.
Just think, you could make some friends for life or at least see
people you know as you tromp around our large and lovely campus.

Mac Miller raps up Internet following
LANTERN columnist

Sweet Advice: How to
grapple with OSU’s size

KYLE HENDRICKSON
hendrickson.1087@osu.edu

The announcement that
rapper Mac Miller will be the
featured artist for the Ohio
Union Activities Board’s Big Free
Concert further represents the
changing of the prototype for
how to make it big in the music
industry. And few artists are as
in touch with these new trends
as Miller.
Miller, along with Skrillex, the
dubstep DJ, are set to perform at
6 p.m. May 12 on the South Oval
at OSU, OUAB’s concert chair
Courtney Chow said.
But what sets Miller apart
from his other popular musical
peers is the way he gathered his

large and ever-growing fan base
over time.
Miller reached his point of
popularity by breaking barriers
and using the Internet to his
advantage as an artist, whereas
other artists have shied away
from the big, bad World Wide
Web.
The Internet has become an
all-in-one-stop shop for nearly
everything in our lives. News,
shopping and social experiences can all be found on the
internet. Music is no different.
While the radio often feels like it
is playing the same five songs
over and over again, undiscovered or under-appreciated talent
is simply a search away on the
Internet.
I realize I am not breaking
any new ground by telling you
that music can be found on the
Internet. But where artists used
to fight this trend, worrying about
losing the revenue streams that
come from radio plays and CD
sales, many artists have begun
to use the Internet as a way to
market themselves to fans. Miller
has done this as well as any.
In hip-hop especially,
bloggers hold a great amount
of influence to those using the

Internet to seek out their music.
Establish a good relationship
with these blogs and your music
becomes more accessible to
your fans. Miller has done this
with a personality that engages
his audience. As he often likes to
say, “I’m just a kid.”
Fans, especially young fans
in college without much money,
want music that they do not have
to pay for. So what is a good way
to connect to those fans and
build a following amongst that
group? Release lots and lots of
free music through the Internet. With seven free mixtapes
available for digital download
in addition to numerous singles
made available at no cost, Miller
was able to build a fan base over
the years by providing easily
accessible, quality music.
The next step to building your
followers is interaction with your
fans. Twitter has provided fans
with a direct line to their favorite
celebrities, and a celeb that
frequently interacts with those
fans is sure to only create a more
devoted following to his work.
Case in point: Mac Miller and
his more than 2 million Twitter
followers. Miller would make a
habit of releasing a free song

every time he hit a milestone
number with his followers. By
making himself more accessible
to his followers, an underground
musical artist can slowly start to
make his way up to the top of
mainstream music charts.
So what does this all add up
to? Consider the fact that Miller’s
debut album, released last fall,
became the first independently
released album to chart at No. 1
on the Billboard 200 since 1995,
and it becomes obvious that the
internet is a legitimate marketing
tool for musicians.
A major record label deal
is no longer a prerequisite for
high record sales. With a good
work ethic, a relatable personality and a keen understanding of
the market you are trying to sell
to, artists can make a name for
themselves with the help of the
internet. Mac Miller is a part of
a trend that will only continue to
grow.

Planning ahead, organization can be tickets to a less stressful study abroad experience
HANNAH BroKENSHIRE
Lantern columnist
brokenshire.2@osu.edu
President E. Gordon Gee has often been quoted
saying a passport is the driver’s license of the 21st
century, but for students planning to study abroad
during their time at Ohio State, a passport is the
least of your preparation worries.
I’ve been lucky enough to travel a decent
amount and thought applying to my program
would be simple. I warn you, no amount of prior
travel prepares you for the influx of paperwork
and research that accompanies the myriad of
applications.
My advice to all future study abroad applicants:

2B

become familiar with the Office of International
Affairs. OSU boasts more than 100 study-abroad
programs, and deciding which one is worth the time
(and money) can be difficult. Once your program is
chosen, the fun begins.
The costs to go abroad are extensive, and
for those of us balancing rent, loans and the
general expenses of college life, scholarships
are a beacon of hope. OIA’s website highlights
certain scholarships through the office and OSU,
but there are a bunch of other funding opportunities available to those who find the motivation do
some extra digging. Some scholarship applications seem overly lengthy for a “small” amount of
money, but hey, a $150 scholarship is surely worth
the extra hour you spent editing your statement of
purpose.

Be forewarned though, many applications
require recommendations. It is crucial to connect
with professors and faculty who can attest to your
work ethic and personality. If you are planning to
study abroad, start forming those relationships now.
Letters won’t write themselves, and a great one can
transform an average application into a stellar one.
But ask early; nobody likes to receive frantic lastminute requests to write about how wonderful you
are hours before a deadline.
Another tip is to check in advance how many
letters you will need, that way you need only ask
once to cover all your bases (instead of bombarding your recommender’s inbox every two weeks like
I did).
Speaking of deadlines, there are plenty, and they
can be spread out over several months. Beyond

application deadlines, keep track of important dates
for scholarships, passports and travel payments. I
would recommend investing in a planner dedicated
solely to study abroad and all of the deadlines that
accompany it.
Once the stress of applying has passed, acceptance anticipation sets in.
Don’t let the stress of applying deter you from
studying abroad. Spending the extra time researching your perfect program and applicable scholarships is definitely worth it. Seek out departmental
awards, have an extra pair of eyes read your essays,
and once your final deadline is met, sit back and
enjoy the excitement of your upcoming study abroad
experience.
